      @unharmed:

      You're in Condor looking at Pistas and Mission Workshop stuff. Undoubtedly a Forumenger  😉

      Indeed, and given how wet it was on my evening commute on Friday, I'm now in real need of a waterproof rucksack, since my current one no longer is 😞

      Needs to be able to swallow a laptop, change of clothes and a pair of shoes, be comfortable, and totally waterproof. The shortlist at the moment is:-

      1. Kriega R35
      2. MissionWorkshop Rambler

      Any other suggestions would be welcome 🙂

        A goruck bag would fit the bill well, they have several sizes I'm sure one would work out well, great for carrying a laptop, ultra tough, I don't know I'd characterize them as completely waterproof but for all intents and purposes they are, unless you're gonna submerge them. I love mine and they're made by good people

          Timbuk2 solid bag. Been cycling with it all weather (including in flooding weather), and not a drop of water inside. Just pick the waterproof textures when building the customs.

            I've got a Timbuk2, but recently switched back to a rucksack, and tbh I prefer it, more comfortable.

            Thanks jacoavlu, really like the GR1, ticks all the boxes 🙂

              I've got one of Scott's early messenger bags (http://www.blackrainbowproject.co.uk/) and it's a fucking beast. I know he's attempting to ramp up production a bit now he's moved to new premises and I seem to remember him talking about a backpack.

                    Has anyone in the UK bought a Goruck recently?  Any hints for navigating the tax/handling charges which will hit?  No problem paying for the bag but I have real beef with the ridiculous duty costs.  (Yes I've already mailed Goruck themselves and they have no strategy they can offer…)

                                I've got the GR1 and my GF has the Echo. They're awesome. I'd like the Radio Ruck as well for one night trips, but I can't justify it really. I'll post pictures soon.

                                        Mega - I find the GR1 is perfect for two nights away for work, and a bit underused for one night trips. However, I'm not carrying a laptop these days, just my iPad.

                                        Normal load out is two dress shirts, two t-shirts, wash bag, underwear, ipad in Portenzo case, Midori Traveler's Notebook, a book or two and a few other bits and bobs. Packed neatly, it all fits with some room to spare.

                                            Well, the dimensions look good, it can incorporate a hydration bladder, and it has been used by special forces teams in combat, so it should be ok I guess.

                                            Like everything that I like (25oz jeans, heavy flannel and denim shirts, double leather midsole boots for forestry fire fighters) I just love how ridiculously OTT it is. You can get something for a quarter of the price to do the job, but I want something thats still going to be doing the job when I'm not.
